SLIDESHOW: 8 arrested in child porn investigation

BATON ROUGE, LA (WVUE) - The state's Internet Crimes Against Children task force affiliates joined forces to arrest eight men for alleged crimes related to the sexual exploitation of children, according to a statement released Monday by the attorney general's office.

Led by the attorney general's Cyber Crime Unit, the affiliates, comprised of local, state and federal officials, participated in a two-week undercover operation concentrating on suspects who allegedly possess, produce or distribute child pornography or who allegedly solicit children for sex.

The operation targeted the Shreveport-Bossier and Baton Rouge areas. While most of the eight arrests involve the possession or distribution of child pornography, one arrest includes charges of molestation and indecent behavior with a juvenile.
